Floating House On The Sea

This floating house in Archipelago Guaitecas, XI Region, Chile designed by Sabbagh Arquitectos is a floating sanctuary on the sea. The project was commissioned by fishing company Multiexport Foods for the purpose of building a relaxing environment for their employees while they are working in the fjords of the Aisén Region.

Prefabricated modules were developed using materials for containers. Concrete slabs were installed where the weight is concentrated at the bottom and the upper structure was built with metal to lighten the load at the top. A graphite gray colour on the exterior blends in with the landscape of the surrounding environment.
